First of all I would like to thank those of you for pointing out the recent photo that was lifted from our website at www.coralreefecosystems.com Also to those that are loyal customers and or have spoken on my behalf. I always try and give my customers the best deals possible and throw in a freebie now and then as well.
As far as new products go I never purchase any lighting system or bulb that is new to the market. Price is a driving force especially if it ies realky low but I consider this a red flag. I wait for at least a year before I stock these new products. This way it gives me time to track their preformance. The ony time I didn't wait that long was when I was involved in product developement and did testing myself. Quality doesn't usually come cheap. The highest quality bulbs I stock I have had zero defect returns and only 2 bad bulbs in 11 years of sales.
Thanks all,
Steve Ruddy
